This paper investigates optimization techniques and data structures exploiting the use of so-called pseudo models. These techniques are applied to speed-up TBox and ABox reasoning...
Transitive propagation along properties can be modelled in various ways in the OWL description logic. Doing so allows existing description logic reasoners based on the tableaux alg...
This paper proposes a paraconsistent and nonmonotonic extension of description logic by planting a nonmonotonic mechanism called minimal inconsistency in paradoxical description lo...
Automated medical diagnosis systems based on knowledge-oriented descriptions have gained momentum with the emergence of Semantic Descriptions. However, soundness and efficiency of...
